Birthday craft from Pinterest

On Monday, I told ya'll I was going to post about a pin on pinterest that I did.
Seriously, who else is so thankful for pinterest? I would be so lost without it!
If you have noticed on my boards, I have been pinning so many birthday ideas.
The one I really liked was the number 2 with lots and lots of buttons.
When I saw this pin, I knew instantly I needed to make it.


I started with some white cardboard (like the photo), actually Im not sure if they used cardboard I just went by the photo. I also bought some buttons from walmart, that I think would look nice with Megan's birthday party colors.

I had to somehow make a "4" free hand and just erase on the parts i think needed fixing. 
It was a little hard to make it how I wanted but it came together when I was done. To cut I used Scissors at first but I found that didnt really work very well so I switched to a sharp knife and just cut down.

After I had the number and I had the buttons ready to be glued, I got my glue gun and just started to glue on all the buttons. I started with the big buttons, because they used up the most space.


 
This was the ending result, and I think it turned out better than what I expected. I love it and I cant wait to put it up for her birthday party.! We have more crafts coming up and we (I say "we" because I actually need Jaime's help with this next one),will be showing ya'll  how we did it.

Linking up with Jamie for WILW       & Linking up with The Vintage Apple I am Loving   that my 2nd graders were amazing yesterday and I really cannot wait to be an official teacher! I am Loving that my husband and I had the same idea for Valentines day.  He made this "why I love you" while he was on drill this past weekend:) He, of course, made me cry..he knows Im not that kind of girl that cares for bears and balloons as long as anything he gives me is sentimental and from his heart. He knows me well. I am Loving that he also told me that my last present was on the computer screen, at first I thought I didnt hear him right, and then I open the laptop screen and there is the newest Ipod!!! So I will be getting the newest Ipod today!!..I really need one,Mines old. I am also loving these pinterest finds & I am Loving this Man and this cute little 3 year old.

This Weekend I....

  This weekend was kind of uneventful and was a pretty low key. Jaime had to work a couple of those days, so Megan and I decided to spend the weekend at my mom and dads house. I went to class Saturday morning and found out I got a 90 on my Mid-term!! Woohoo! I worked really hard for that grade. I studies for 5 days straight and tested myself everyday to see what else I missed. So it was a really good morning so far. Afterwards I went to my moms because Megan had spent the night over.  We decided to go to the movies to watch Brave, Or as Megan calls it, "Red". She calls it "Red" because of her Red hair.I love that movie it's the cutest. We had seen it before but it was nice to see it again. Megan fell asleep the last 15 minutes of it. Megan LOVES the movie Hotel Transylvania and when we saw the cardboard characters at the movies Megan wanted to take a pictures with them. Megan has been asking for some new dolls almost every weekend. She's const...
